"Fixed Kids" (2020)

Fils de Garches is the story of a bad memory. Regular trips to the hospital as a child marked my life and the lives of the children who had my disability. Twisting a little to try to straighten myself out. So it's a story of a different memory and a different body. The bad memories of orthopaedics, the rigorous ones. This film is the story of these children who were born in the 80s with a strange body and desires... like everyone else. It is the story of two journeys. One is to meet former children that I have only just met. The second is a dive. Going back to this place full of ghosts and try to describe it, to see a little bit of what I hardly understood...
